It looks like its happening in other circumstances too.

I'm getting some odd behaviour in AS 7.04 I've been trying to test edits to my Birth AutoTexts, and I was getting an Unhandled Exception Error in AS After trying various different templates, I backed up AS Options, copied my Settings etc, then re-installed 7.04 from a clean download, restored Option...

Works perfectly too.

Lovely thats a great help. Thanks to both.

I had looked at the help file, and found nothing.

So I'm not sure how those should be used, but I'll have a play with it now.

On many/most of my certificates, the event date on a BMD is written as text eg twenty-fifth. In AS, this (perfectly sensibly) is normally entered as 25, and even if entered as text, is displayed subsequently as 25. Am I correct that there is no way to get an Auto-text to revert the 25 to read twenty...

Just trying to clean up some of my many old version. and I note I have two old files Electoral Register UK Templates.xml & Countries.xml I can see that the entries in the former have been incorporated into the current settings.xml file, but the various entries in Countries.xml seem to have disappear...

CP asked me to submit the image I was using where the tags did not get added, and I've now had the following response

Just to let you know I have logged the problem with the developers on their issues list.

Many thanks. Its easy when its pointed out.

I had searched for Date qualifiers and found nothing!

Help much appreciated (as usual)

Using AS v 7.2.4 64 bit. Trying to set a Death Image Title Template in Tools>Options>Death Settings I've been trying to use {DATE.YEAR} {DATE.MONTH} {DATE.DAY} The year and the day appear as expected, but the month does not show in the example (or the actual title if I use it) AS 1.jpg This also app...

Meant to add, this is a newly added Media record, ie the keywords existed in the image when the photo was added to FH

I have Preferences set to "Copy Image Tag Values to the Media Record" According to the help file, that should Merge any existing keywords with Auto-generated Keywords. Meta 2.jpg This does not appear to be working for me however, as all I'm seeing when the image is added as a source is the Auto-gene...

Seems fine. Thanks for this.

Thinking of other frequently used commands,

Edit + Find

might be another to consider.

Again not a long alternative, but ....

Response from CP.

"Thank you for reporting that. We have logged it for the developers to investigate."

The only other ones I use are #Q::Send !VQ ; Win+Q opens Query Window #A::Send !VPP{enter} ; Win+A opens Publish Window #Z::Send !TL ; Win+Z opens External File Link #W::Send !TU ; Win+W opens Plug ins These are not necessarily the best letters (for all), I did not spend too long thinking about them...

I did realise that Alt T F would open that dialogue with only one click more than Win+D , after all that is what I added the code for in my version of the script #F::Send !TF ; Win+F opens Facts Edit dialog. However while Win+D is just one less click, it is a far easier combination of keys than the ...

A much better Idea. Thanks

Thanks for updating. I did wonder which forum, but decided it wasn't the web site exactly either, so this was the least worst option! For me, the new letters are fine. Colin PS I had replaced the F option (which I don't use frequently) with #F::Send !TF ; Win+F opens Facts Edit dialog to open the Fa...

As a result of the menu changes in V7, the script available at https://fhug.org.uk/kb/link/autohotkey-3/ needs amending. There are 7 lines of code similar to this #I::Send !VRI^D ; Win+I opens Records Window Individuals tab Last Name filter A simple edit to change the "R" to "O" in each of those 7 l...

yes that does make sense, but I think I'd create a Custom fact Attribute for that. But thanks for the suggestion

Thanks. I'm just away to read it fully

I have a Letters of Administration Fact Attribute where I'm planning to fill the value with Widow, Son, daughter etc if it is known. This sentence works perfectly if I have a value for the attribute but not so well if I have a blank attribute value. Letters of Administration for {individual's} estat...

Yes I Think I've talked myself into it. I'll dump all my newspaper facts over the next few weeks.

How do others deal with Internet website articles. Before the Source Template for Website, I created a Source in the old way titled for example"Internet Aboyeur 1". I then created a Custom Fact called Internet with a Citation to the sources, and created as many specific facts as were recorded in the...
